Each one of my pieces is designed and created by myself totally by hand.  I use no machinery only hand tools.

I use many materials in my work but most pieces are made with plated silver or sterling silver.  I occasionally use plated gold and copper.  All metals used comply with EU standards concerning nickel content, I will only use the best in any of my pieces.

Wire work plays a large part in my jewellery creations.  This is the process of twisting and forming wire to make complete pieces such as 'Ruby' a silver bangle created by twisting and joining multiple lengths of silver wire and wiring in beads.  I also make most of the clasps and links in the bracelet and necklace pieces you will see in the Gallery.

The beads I use in my work are usually glass I use genuine Austrian Swarovski crystal and I will also incorporate acrylic and metal to achieve the desired effect.  I search worldwide to bring my customers the most beautiful beads available. 

'OOAK'

OOAK is the term used by artists that create 'One of a Kind' pieces.

The majority of my work is OOAK and will never be reproduced.  Each piece has its own unique name which will also never be re-used.  I will happily make matching pieces if specifically asked to do so but any piece you see in the Gallery cannot be repeated so my advice would be to buy it while it's there because when it's gone, it really is gone forever.

Support British Artists

Please don't be fooled into buying cheap costume jewellery from the high street.  The standards are extremely low and it is almost certainly mass produced by poorly paid and poorly treated individuals in the awful sweat shops of the far Eastern countries.
